Professor Jeremy England speaks about how his research group is investigating how physics can help explain the origins of life on The Academic Minute. England explains that his group models “what happens when you take a clump of matter that no one would call alive and then start zapping it with a source of energy (like sunlight).”
In a piece for Salon, Paul Rosenberg writes about Prof. Jeremy England’s theory about the origins of life. England’s theory, based on the principals of thermodynamics, shows that under certain conditions “where life is possible…it is also quite probable, if not, ultimately, inevitable,” Rosenberg explains.
Professor Jeremy England appears on WGBH television’s Greater Boston to discuss his work examining the origins of life. England explains his theory that, from the perspective of physics, energy played a role in the formation of life.
